About the virus that seems to be cropping up for a lot of you.
It’s a virus that mimic the windows 7 anti-virus software. If you see a window of such popping up on your screen, SHUT IT DOWN. Don’t download jack. I have had this virus on my computer before - I got it from browsing through a google image search.
It works my hijacking your computer, and demanding that you pay for the win 7 anti-virus software. What is actually happening is that you’re paying to get the virus off your computer. The virus wrecks the program on your computer that reads and executes .exe files.
DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT download anything from a pop-up window of win7 anti-virus software. SHUT IT DOWN.
Here’s a site with more information, and the process of removing the virus.
Here also is a wikisecurity link with information on the virus, prevention of infection, and removal methods.
